Remnants 4 by Huw Griffith

Collage on board; 1940s Spanish film posters and 19th century French papers.

Griffith depicts the passage of time by layering his aterials – fragile ephemera marked by age. His work has echoes of archival art and Mimmo Rotella; rare documents, advertisements and cinema postersare taken apart, original images are hidden and context is lost. The emerging image is built out of the remnants, creating a bold, unconventional aesthetic from vestiges of the past. Griffith describes his technique as the art of painting with paper, a practice he feels has been largely overlooked.

Atmosphere by Sarah Amdur

“Atmosphere” was inspired by a project I did focusing on the identity – or loss of identity as it were, of people involved in London’s “rat race”. Travelling in London I began to notice that every passer by looked the same – suited and booted holding briefcases, consumed by their phones or tablet devices, and I wondered how anyone would be able to tell them apart. I went visited London’s Liverpool street station and photographed crowds of people emerging from the underground on their way to work, and in each of Atmosphere’s 3 parts – I have cut away their silhouettes, taking away their identities. The newspaper used in the background is specifically chosen by the content written on the pages, all relating to my thought process at the time this piece was made, and the influence society was having on people.
